Newly researched data from PrimeLocation.com heralds Virginia Water in Surrey as the UK’s number one property millionaire hotspot, overtaking last year’s top pick Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire.   Home to a higher proportion of properties valued at £1 million or above than anywhere else in the country, James Wyatt, partner of Barton Wyatt, the longest established agent in the village comments:

“Brought up in the heart of Virginia Water, I feel very privileged to have lived in this fantastic village all my life. It’s no surprise that this area is the number one choice for a millionaire lifestyle especially considering the picture perfect village that borders the famous Wentworth estate; and its well renowned golf club which played host to the BMW PGA tournament just last weekend.

If you do have your eye on a property adjoining the fairways of Wentworth Estate golf course, this privilege spot commands house prices in the region of £5 million and above. ”

While the data from PrimeLocation.com lists the location of seven of the UK’s top 10 millionaire towns in the South East – the wealthiest region in the UK, Virginia Water seems to be the crème of the crop with a staggering 48.5% of homes valuing at more than £1,000,000.

Nigel Lewis, property analyst at PrimeLocation.comremarks:

“There are a number of factors that have led these UK towns to become millionaire hotspots. Most of these areas are home to a high proportion of spacious and luxurious properties set in a peaceful and exclusive environment, within easy commuting distance of London, but this sought-after combination comes with a hefty price tag.

“Not only is Virginia Water a commuter town offering easy access to the Capital, it’s also home to the famous Wentworth Estate which encompasses one of Europe’s premier residential areas.

“With a significant proportion of the housing stock being large detached properties, the price of which averages £1,210,326, this affluent area has overtaken Beaconsfield as the UK’s hottest £1m+ location.”
